It's not so easy to read the thread when the earlier posts are not present
on the news provider - and you failed to quote the post you replied to.
You want us to read your mind. Ain't gonna happen.
FYI - the post you replied to without quoting shows here as a header dated
12 January 2009, and the body is no longer available on the Microsoft
server.

Sorry about that. I'm new to the service. I can see all of the
posters above me...about 5 or 6...and my final post was to Peter. The
post just above mine. Peter suggested that I had to reformat my system
in order to solve the issue. I didn't have to as I had already fixed
the problem and was just posting the fix that worked for me in order to
help others that might Google the problem and be brought here, as I
was.
Originally the post, to which I was replying, while in search of an
answer for my own problem, was about MS Word not working under
Vista...with the error message, "Word has stopped working."
I simply found that by reinstalling the application, Word, with Service
pack 3, that I still had the issue and error message. But, as suggested
here by a previous poster, an installation without installing Service
pack 3 did in fact work.

There is a lot of "reformat your system" out there (they really mean
reformat your hard drive, but what the heck...).
I'm *very* glad you solved your problem without that, since it is a *last*
resort, not a first resort. It would wipe out all your work, all your
software installations, and all the updates to everything. You would be a
long time getting back up to speed, even if everything was backed up.
